NEW YORK - The NYPD is hunting for a pair of suspects who brutally beat a 78-year-old man on a subway train on the Upper West Side on Thursday.
According to authorities, at around 3:30 p.m. police responded to a 9-1-1 call of an assault in progress at the 96th Street and 7th Avenue Subway station.
Upon arrival, officers were told that the victim was riding a southbound 1 train nearing the 96th Street subway station when he asked an unknown person on the train playing music on a speaker to turn down the volume.
The unknown person and his companion then allegedly began to punch the man in the face multiple times.
The victim sustained bruising and lacerations to his face and was taken to Mount Sinai St. Luike's Hospital in stable condition.
